The recirculation box is intended for directing the air back into the room in which the cooker hood is installed.

If you want to direct the air out of the room in which the cooker hood is installed, great care must be taken if the cooker hood is installed in the same room or area of the house as another heating appliance which depends on the air in the room. It is essential to observe the Warning and Safety instructions in the Operating and Installation instructions for the cooker hood.

In this instance, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a qualified gas fitter (GasSafe registered in the UK) must be sought.

This conversion kit is not designed for commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.
It must only be used as a domestic appliance to extract vapours and remove odours from cooking.

The conversion kit is intended solely for converting Miele cooker hoods to recirculation mode.
The cooker hood must be suitable for recirculation mode. Follow the separate instructions supplied with the cooker hood.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

Mode of operation

The extracted air is cleaned by the grease filters in the cooker hood and fed into the recirculation box, where it is passed through two charcoal filters and recirculated back into the kitchen.

Please ensure that both grease filters are correctly in place.

The recirculation box is installed in a position of your choice in the kitchen. It is then connected to the cooker hood ducting.

The cooker hood is not fitted with a non-return valve and charcoal filters.

Please observe the appropriate installation instructions when installing the cooker hood.

Location

• The recirculation box should be located a minimum distance of three meters from the cooker hood.

3

• Select the location and air direction so that the air can flow unhindered from the box. The air flow should not be angled directly at the ceiling, a wall,

• or towards the cooker hood.

Installation instructions for the recirculation box can be found on page 48.

Recirculation box ducting

Only use smooth pipes or flexible hoses made from non-flammable materials for the extraction ducting.
To achieve the greatest possible air extraction with the lowest noise level, please note the following:
- To ensure efficient air extraction, the diameter of the exhaust ducting should not be less than 150mm .
If flat ducting is being used, the cross-sectional area must not be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the exhaust connection.
- All ducting, pipework and fittings should be of non-flammable materials.
- The exhaust ducting should be as short and straight as possible.
- Only use wide radius bends.
- The exhaust ducting should not be kinked or compressed.
- Ensure that all connections are strong and airtight.
- Where ducting is horizontal, it must be laid to slope away by at least 1 cm per metre. This is to ensure that condensate cannot drain back into the cooker hood.

If your cooker hood has an operating hours counter, this should be activated. Follow the separate instructions supplied with the cooker hood.

Resetting the charcoal filter operating hours counter

If your cooker hood has an operating hours counter this should be reset after changing the filters. Follow the separate instructions supplied with the cooker hood.

Cleaning the housing

Clean the air outlet grille and, when the charcoal filters have been removed, the inside of the housing, with a sponge and water with a little washing-up liquid.
